So what are my expectations for this mission trip? This is such a loaded question, I mean am I telling God what He should be doing or am I just knowing that this is what He is going to do because it is in His very nature? I know at least one thing about this. God will be there, because the Bible says that where two or more are gathered in His name He will be there. There are a few other things that I am praying will happen though.
1. That God will allow me to be His hands and feet and that He will guide me as I go about spreading His word
2. That I will be stretched and changed daily to become more like Christ daily
3. That I will see lives changed and transformed
4. That I will become a strong ambassador for Him and will not sully His name
5. That I will find a family of believers and even though we will want to throttle each others sometimes we can always know that we are loved.
6. That I will cry and laugh and smile and frown a lot over the duration of this mission trip.
7. That I will feel tired and worn out but still so thankful to God for everything He has given me.
8. That some of my training and time in the military will come in handy when dealing with some of the places we will live ( being able to make a shelter out of nothing might come in handy, you never know)
9. That this trip and the lives I interact with will change me way more than I could ever hope to change them
10. That this will be the first step in a life that is dedicated to reaching the lost all over the world.
Well that is all I can think of right now, but you know how it is. You have expectations and God goes far and above them every single time.
